The School of Law regularly hosts distinguished legal scholars, jurists and practitioners who enrich the academic life of the institution and help guide our students on their path to a rewarding legal career.

In past years, Supreme Court Justices Stephen G. Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Anthony M. Kennedy, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas have spoken at law school events. Major conferences and symposia have been held on issues ranging from the 50th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education to the complex legal issues surrounding the Enron scandal to the intersection of labors relations and professional baseball.

Members of the law school faculty are featured in the media as expert commentators on intellectual property, securities, criminal and labor law matters, among others.
